Overview
The German Embassy in Valletta is the diplomatic representation of Germany in the Republic of Malta. As fellow members of the European Union, Germany and Malta share a close partnership. The embassy works to further strengthen political, economic, and cultural ties between the two countries.
Visa Services

The embassy provides a full range of consular services for German citizens in Malta, including passport and ID card applications, notarizations, and assistance in case of emergency. Appointments are required for all consular services.
Trade & Export Support
The economic department of the embassy promotes bilateral trade and investment. It supports German companies in the Maltese market and provides information on economic developments and business opportunities in both countries.
Investment Opportunities
The embassy provides information on the investment climate in Malta and Germany. Malta's strategic location and EU membership make it an attractive location for certain industries.
Business Support
The embassy offers support to German businesses by providing market information and facilitating contacts with local authorities and potential partners.
Cultural & Educational Programs
The embassy is active in promoting German culture and language in Malta. It supports the German-Maltese Circle and various cultural events to foster mutual understanding and cultural exchange.
